#FreeDC

If an authoritarian gains control of the capital city, it becomes much harder to stop him overall.

Everyone who wants to stop Trump needs to help stop this.

Jews and NYPD

In NYC, 40+ Jews arrested calling to LET GAZA LIVE

This is what Torah looks like.

Second photo, top left, that’s the incredible Rabbi Ari Lev Fonari getting arrested.

I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.

Posted in the State Department. The resistance always grows. Tomorrow there will be more of us.

Please spread the word that Medicaid goes under a variety of names, depending on your state.

Today at the Arlington, VA #TeslaTakedown, organizers had a special sign installation called, “What is fascism?”

It’s a terrible bill. It will literally kill people. The most vulnerable among us will suffer as the wealthiest benefit. It’s perverse. I wish there were something I could do. But alas, I am only a U.S. Senator from Alaska whose “no” vote would kill the bill. So I voted yes. You get it.

Final vote. 50-50. VP breaks the tie.

One single GOP Senator could have stopped this abomination. Saved millions of parents from watching their child go hungry. Saved the lives destroyed when Medicaid disappears.

They will all live forever with the horror of this bill.

Chris Murphy: "This is the most deeply immoral piece of legislation I have ever voted on in my entire time in Congress."

Senate votes to move forward on Trump’s ‘big, beautiful bill,’ though measure’s fate remains in question | CNN Politics Senate Republicans took a major step toward delivering President Donald Trump his “big, beautiful bill” late Saturday, though the fate of the giant tax cuts and spending measure is still in question a...

When people die because their Medicaid is gone and kids starve because there’s no SNAP, all so that greedy corporations and the super rich can get richer, I hope everyone remembers who to blame.

The White House Marching Orders That Sparked the L.A. Migrant Crackdown After deportations fell short of President Trump’s campaign promises, federal agents summoned to a meeting in Washington were told to “just go out there and arrest illegal aliens.”

Really good WSJ article on ICE escalations over recent weeks including Miller's visit to ICE national HQ where he demanded Home Depot raids. www.wsj.com/us-news/prot...

A beautifully written essay.

"We’re not allowed to kill people. We’re not. I’m totally clear on this...Why does it feel like a shameful betrayal to say this out loud in Jewish spaces?"

Because intra faith conflicts are the hardest and lately our leaders have made denial an unhappy choice.

The whole entire world
is a very narrow bridge
and the main thing to recall
I can't remember right now
because the people who taught me that song
and the ones I sang it with
may make the same excuses
when they come for me, and you—Joelle Novey

On Finding Our Temple Covered in Blood - Evolve Why can’t religious leaders and institutions say, with clarity, that the grotesque violence against a trapped civilian population in Gaza is indefensible and wrong?

"Isn't it a strange and unlikely coincidence, to have been born by happenstance into the only group of people whose lives and safety matter to God?"

Grateful for @joellenovey.bsky.social's voice every single day.

"What is my prediction for the end of the world?" Rev. Laura Martin asks at the Faith Alliance for Climate Solutions (FACS) awards event. "I believe the world has already ended ... and begun again, and will over and over."

With the desperate humanitarian situation ongoing in Gaza, we are putting together a virtual auction to raise money for several families in critical need of supplies like food, water, meds, hygiene products, and baby diapers. Please check out our Linktree for more info! linktr.ee/gazaaidcolle...

On Earth Day, our Director Joelle closed a multi-faith gathering on Capitol Hill with this song by Sarina Partridge: 
"But don't you hear them too, the voices cutting through the despair saying: 'We need you there, in the belly of the beast, singing, singing, singing–  through times such as these."

any Democratic elected who says they can't win the politics of "should we give Trump the power to disappear innocent people into a concentration camp" has a terminal case of consultant brain and should be ruthlessly hounded from office

RFK Jr.'s Obsession With Autism Is A 'Dangerous' Form Of Ableism. Here's Why. News that autistic people can't pay taxes is news to autistic people who paid taxes Tuesday.

"News that autistic people can't pay taxes is news to autistic people who paid taxes Tuesday" www.huffpost.com/entry/rfk-jr...

What the actual fuck is this asshole’s obsession with autism? Literally two of the people I love the most in this world have autistic diagnoses. One is my husband who’s a fucking college professor and truly the greatest man I’ve ever met. This is fucking eugenics talk.

Some background on Senator Van Hollen that is probably relevant tonight:

* He sits on the Senate Foreign Relations committee

* He was born in Pakistan, where his father was a diplomat

* He was a thoughtful and consistent critic of Biden’s Gaza policy and visited the Rafah crossing in 2024

We've reached the point in our descent into fascism where the Jewish governor's house getting firebombed on Passover by a guy trying to bash his head in with a sledgehammer is overshadowed by the story of the President saying he wants to build foreign gulags for US citizens.

Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen is demanding a meeting with El Salvador President Nayib Bukele over the detention of Kilmar Abrego Garcia and says he’ll go to El Salvador himself if the Marylander isn’t returned.
